No Cuban has been allowed to publish, in Cuba, a true history of his populist revolution, one that repressed and murdered the existing elite in order to put an even more vicious and more incompetent elite in its place. Because Cubans have limited Internet access, they can’t access the Cuba Archive, an online record of the Cubans murdered by the Castro regime, or any of the books and articles written about the country overseas. There is no hall of memory for the victims, as there is at Ground Zero, and their names are not carved into any stones.

Where's the hall of memory to the indigenous people we massacred and the captive Africans we murdered, tortured and enslaved in the process of creating this nation? Hole of memory more like.

While we do indeed tend to engage in revisionist history regarding the Indian Wars, our Phillipine genocide, etc., it isn't illegal to write or talk about it.
